Return to Sender

Return to Sender

We will all lose loved ones, which tends to change us forever, depending on our relationship with them. Separate from this, we cross paths with many people in our lives that come and go. Some of those relationships end intentionally, while others end unexpectedly or unfortunately. Nearly all relationships of substance and meaning create the sting of loss when ending. Sometimes, we even feel like we cannot go on. The truth is that we existed before the relationships and, thus, can exist afterward. It may be painful at first, but it is possible if we do not lose ourselves, who we are, and our authentic selves while in the relationship. Know that no one is going to love you more than you love yourself, no one is going to care about you more than you care about yourself, and no one is going to respect you more than you respect yourself. While we may want or desire others, we only truly need ourselves. Shifting our mindsets to being our own most important person and prioritizing our relationships with ourselves as the most important relationship we will ever have serves us best. After all, we are the ones we will spend the most time with during our lives, more than any other human.

Why Ask Why

Why Ask Why

Many factors can influence human behavior. These can include childhood trauma and experiences, environmental factors, family constellation, and genetics, which can all impact our temperament development and self-worth. Even under ideal conditions while growing up, exposure to toxic human behavior, when no longer protected by the haven of our family environment, can wreak havoc on a person and influence their behavior. Notwithstanding psychological and personality disorders, the reasons for toxic behaviors can range from trauma responses, insecurity, lack of character or values, meanness, or the driving need to ā€œget evenā€ for perceived past wrongs ā€“ entitlement. For the protection and preservation of our well-being, we are best served to know the ā€œwhatā€ others are capable of that can impact us over the ā€œwhy.ā€ Unless we are closely connected with the individual, learning the why can take time and investment, usually requiring transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability, which are unfortunately rarely embraced or leveraged. Protecting yourself and your mental health should be a top priority, like defensive driving, always remaining alert, and anticipating that other drivers may be prone to unexpected behaviors at any moment, providing you time to engage in (emotionally) evasive maneuvers to remain out of harm's way.

Know Your Giver Limits

Know Your Giver Limits

It often feels good to help someone else. Doing so can feed our altruistic self, enabling us to feel good about ourselves. Kindness expressed and shared can not only help others heal but can often help in the healing process of our own wounds. Motives for giving can vary from pure intentions, a distraction from pain, to hidden agendas that can create more harm than good. That said, it is also crucial to know that the reality of life is that there are some who prey on the kindhearted, those who love to give, to extract and take from those giving souls, without care of the impact on the giver. We are best served to know our why when giving. Know your limits - when the return becomes negative, and refrain from turning a blind eye to the truth that people will ill intentions exist and seek out those with good hearts. Give as your heart may lead, but also listen to your instinct and use discernment to ensure you are not being taken advantage of. We are not called to be of support to everyone. Ensure the gifts you were given to give reach their intended recipients.Ā

What You Can Control

What You Can Control

There is very little in life that we control outside ourselves, our behaviors, and our actions. Experiencing the estimated thousands of thoughts we face daily can feel overwhelming. We are best served when trying to change our behaviors by doing so at the thought stage, before developing an emotion around the thought, and before we act on it. We can learn to manage our thoughts instead of them controlling us. When practiced with intention, over time, we can reduce the frequency and intensity of harmful thoughts by recognizing those that are impractical, causing us to feel anxiety, upset, or low mood. One way to achieve this is by replacing negative thoughts, when they occur, with other thoughts. It can be a completely different subject, thoughts of gratitude or thankfulness. By practicing the technique of thought-stopping and replacement, we stand a greater chance of changing lanes from thoughts that do not serve us to those that can help us. This does not imply that we can eliminate all negative thoughts - that is unrealistic. Nor is it to say just stop thinking negative thoughts, and everything will suddenly improve. Thoughts are a naturally occurring process that can occur in our subconscious mind, where often, we are unaware of the storm brewing until it is upon us. What we can control, however, is the quantity, duration, quality, and impact of our thoughts by being intentional about shifting to productive thoughts, which help us experience greater peace and well-being. Making a conscious effort to develop constructive and helpful thinking habits can create more of the thoughts we want, reducing those we dislike that are harmful to us. No one has more control over this process than ourselves - we alone hold the key to that door.Ā

Let Go to Grow

Focus Internally, Not External

Focus Internally, Not External

Most have probably heard the saying, ā€œSmall minds talk about people, average minds discuss events and great minds discuss ideas.ā€ While the interpretations may vary, the spirit is meant to point out that if we consume ourselves by looking down on, finding fault with, and judging others, therein lay the extent of our world, existence, and impact - small. When we focus on only the flaws in others, we distract ourselves from seeing, embracing, developing, and refining our very own opportunities for growth, development, and improvement. Even standing still can mean going backward in a world of perpetual motion. If those we judge seek to improve and better themselves, it wonā€™t be long before they surpass us while we are so busy trying to tear them down. This, in turn, can potentially create a vicious cycle we fabricate of persistent envy of their progress hindered by our self-created stagnation. Being the bigger person and concentrating on the areas we can improve, grow, and develop serves us best in helping us live up to our fullest potential instead of down to just above that which we find repugnant or beneath us. The next time you are tempted to find fault in others, ask yourself which area(s) you can do or be better in instead of sharing your opinion of someone elseā€™s perceived shortcomings with them. Growth is found in letting that higher focus guide you to a better version of yourself ā€“ one that you can be proud of and live up to.

Who Do You Really Need?

Who Do You Really Need?

Many have come to believe that they need others to complete them. As humans, yes, most of us naturally desire belonging, socialization, and companionship. The question to ask ourselves is at what cost?ā€™ Having a quality support system for the good times and the not-so-good can be highly beneficial. It can also be highly unhealthy, detrimental, and even dangerous to our mental health and well-being to become dependent on those who only have their own selfish interests in mind with little to no regard for our own. Know the difference between people who want you around only for what you can do for them vs. those who desire to be a part of your life, willing to make and hold space for you simply because of the person that you are, with nothing for them to gain, no need for you to do, give, or sacrifice for them. Like unconditional love, this type of motive-free relationship, rare as it they are to find, is priceless. Always know that the most important person you need, the one you can depend on, is yourself.Ā

Apology Accepted Access Denied

Apology Accepted Access Denied

An inevitability in this life is that we will experience times when someone does something that we find hurtful. Sometimes, it is intentional on their behalf, while most times, it is unintended. That does not change the fact that it can be painful. If we are being honest, we all make mistakes. There is a saying that goes; the first time is a mistake; the second time is a choice. When we experience behaviors that wound us and address that behavior with the person, hopefully, they apologize with remorse, and the behavior changes - does not repeat. However, in cases where their chief concern is regret for having been caught and called out or their behavior is repeated again and again, we are then best served to accept the apology and let go of the negative baggage of unforgiveness. However, we have no obligation to allow the person access or reentry into our lives. To deny access is not a petty act of holding a grudge but, instead, an act of self-care. We preserve and protect our mental health and well-being by creating and upholding boundaries between us and those people, places, and things that repeatedly disturb our peace, be it intentional or unintentional. Denying access to bad actors is a way of granting kindness to yourself.
